Okay am freaking out, am 5 weeks pp and had a lump on my incision when I was 3 weeks pp,it began draining pus and was cultured at my hospital for investigation, the result shows I had Mrsa,I was placed on antibiotics and was asked to apply gv on the site ,it actually worked but this night, I observed theare is pus again,called D doctor and he said to come tomorrow, I don't know how to sleep between now and tomorrow cuz I can't stop freaking out. Anyone else gone through this?

I did.. It's so annoying but nothing to freak about. it just means you need different antibiotics since it makes you immune to some. with my second c, we took extra precautions to avoid infection. my son also has it, so something to keep in mind if your baby ever needs antibiotics.. our pediatrician gave us Mupirocin to decolonize.. put it in your nose for a week, then once a month for 3 mths. hope this helps!

I had it!!! Most scariest thing! As long as you have a great infection specialist your in good hands! Wash everything and keep it separate from everyone else! I had it, they cleaned it out 3 times, I had a sound vac and then a pic line. I took keflex then heavy meds. Also use the gold Dial Soap to clean the area. Wash it on your body and just let it drain over your incision. It took me 6 months to recover (mine was the extreme) but know you will get over it. Just keep it as clean and dry as possible.

Toddler Skin Rashes - Impe-what? I have exactly one word to describe my feelings about toddler skin rashes: Argh!!!! Of course, seeing the expression on my face as I utter it would likely contribute to the overall effect.
